I think she will leave perhaps in the beginning of January (since that would be 6 months which from what I understand, she signed on for) Then I can see a big name coming in, or Sara..or perhaps it'll close but I hope not

New Becky is starting on Friday...so I guess Stacy the understudy will go on for the early part of the week...and she is simply fabulous (she normally plays Nurse Norma).

And who is the new Becky? Have a past dated ticket I want to use this week before Joe leaves and now debating whether to go Tuesday or risk trying to use it on a Friday.

It's always exciting to see someone's debut regardless of who it is.

The new Becky is Maia Nkenge Wilson. It is on their website.

She was in Rent and Mormon for years. She should be great in Waitress!

Say, is Laura Osnes available for Waitress?

Laura covered What Baking Can Do at one of her events last year, and she said she felt the part wasn't right for her. She at least implied it, and while I think she'd be an amazing Jenna, it's not in the works.

Laura stated in a SiriusXM interview probably a year ago that she has no interest in being a replacement (for anything).This was before Bandstand though, and I don't know what she has lined up post-closing.

Thinking the same, 3-month break, and then back to waitress.. she has picked up quite the fanbase!

I am guessing you are correct about Betsy leaving after the holidays. Betsy just responded to a tweet today that said "see you in November" at Waitress saying.... Yes she would be there but she would not be there on the 17th(I think that was the date she mentioned) because of previous commitment. So we know she'll still be there then.

I never imagined Maia leaving Mormon. :) And yet!

I'd love to see Laura Benanti do it. It would be a joy to see how handles the material.

Yesterday was Brandon Kalm's debut as Dr. Pomatter. He was great. Just the right amount of dorkiness and appeal. Have to say, though, he looked so much younger than Betsy. It would be interesting to see him as Ogie, though.

Wasn't Sunday supposed to be Joe Tippetts, but Matt Deangelis went on?

No Joe's last day had been Saturday as earlier announced. He received his goodbye flowers and goodbye speech on Saturday night.
Matt and Brandon are both listed as understudies for both Earl and Dr. P. Matt has done Earl many times but I think only once as Dr P so far.
